Pathum Nissanka became the first Sri Lanka batter to score a double one-day international century in a 42-run win over Afghanistan in Pallekele.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Nissanka’s unbeaten 210, which included 20 fours and eight sixes from 139 balls, is the joint fifth-highest individual score in ODIs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

His effort eclipses Sanath Jayasuriya’s long-standing one-day mark of 189 for Sri Lanka against India in 2000.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hosts batted first and finished on 381-3 after their 50 overs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nissanka and fellow opener Avishka Fernando (88) put on 182 for the first wicket as Sri Lanka compiled their fourth highest ever one-day total.<\/span><\/p>\n

In reply, Afghanistan were reduced to 19-3 in the sixth over after Pramod Madushan took three wickets. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, fine centuries from Azmatullah Omarzai, who finished 149 not out, and Mohammad Nabi (136) helped the tourists to 339-6 in their run chase.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
